I did a drive check today, first time in months, and found I have a high mismatch count on my RAID1 root device. What's the best way to handle getting this cleaned up? 1) I'm running some smartctl tests as I write this. 2) Do I just do an echo repair to md126 or do I have to boot a rescue CD before I do that? If you need more info please let me know.
